Saint Augustine

Sus joined Jenny and a bus load of students for a history field trip to Saint Augustine. The weather was beautiful and we had a great time visiting some of the historic sites and museums. We saw carpentry and smithing demonstrations in the Spanish Quarter, then headed to the museum in the Government House. A trip to Saint Augustine is not complete without a visit to Castillo de San Marcos. We even saw a cannon-firing demonstration. (If you like forts, we also recommend a short drive south to Fort Matanzas, which also protected Saint Augustine.) In this photo are Klare, … Continue reading Saint Augustine

Just one week later, Beverly was radiant. I approached her after the church service. “How was your week?” I asked. “God was so good,” she replied. She had asked God to resolve a long-standing accounting problem at work and it cleared up that day. By Friday, when she normally would deal with the week’s stresses by having dinner and cocktails with friends, she ordered ice tea. “What did your husband think? “It’s funny,” Beverly explained, “but it’s not my husband that encourages my having a few cocktails.

It was a chilly night but a lot of fun. We were looking forward to a double-feature drive-in movie night at Campus Crusade’s Headquarters. Our office, the Information Technology Group, helped with cooking, parking, and more. We had a good turnout with lots of families. Our staff had a large screen set up and people could even watch the movies from their cars and listen through their car radios. Mike helped grill hundreds of hot dogs. You can see a photo of Mike on our main ministry site. Jenny invited her friend, Nicole, and we settled in our folding chairs … Continue reading Drive-in Movie Night

I wrote more about it and have a photo of Jenny on our family site. Continue reading ITG Helps With Drive-in Movie Night
